As the summer approaches, top college football prospects will be in high demand. These players are expected to sign in the early signing period and have seven months before making the decision to sign their National Letter of Intent.
At the top of any recruiting class will be the quarterbacks. The top name last year was Arch Manning, and this year it is Dylan Raiola. Both of them come from NFL bloodlines, but unlike his father, Dylan doesn’t play the same position.
Raiola and Elijah Brown have yet to make their decisions as far as a pledge is concerned. Raiola decommitted from Ohio State in December of last year.
We check in on the top quarterbacks of the 2024 class where they have pledged.

Dylan Raiola, Pinnacle (Phoenix, AZ)
The nation’s No. 1 prospect @RaiolaDylan will visit #GoDawgs this weekend. There’s no denying the impact he’d have at UGA.

The No. 1 overall prospect in the 2024 class was previously committed to Ohio State before re-opening his recruitment. The Georgia Bulldogs look like the favorite to land him with the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Oregon Ducks, and USC Trojans in hot pursuit. His father, Dominic, was an All-American center with Nebraska and spent 14 years in the NFL.
